Do you know how somedays are just awesome?? Well that's the kind of day i had this past Sunday.
It began with 9 brave souls poised to battle the sundrenched asphalt of Lake Avenue in a grueling 2.5 mile jaunt. With the soldiers fired up, we advanced upon our target. "ONTARIO BEACH PARK!!" I hollared back to the troops as we checked that our trainers were laced and our pink bandanas tightened. Little did we know that thousands of others had gathered upon that very spot. An impressive sight. The beginning of a great day.
The 'Pink Ribbon Walk & Run', organized by the Breast Cancer Coalition of Rochester was a huge deal!! Thousands of fired up, enthusiastic people woke up early on Mother's Day Morning, dispite the wicked winds, to show their support for those fighting the battle against breast cancer. Team Flint represented with great enthusiasm. Our sponsors opened their hearts and their pockets and contributed over $1,000 to the cause!!! A super-giant thank you to all who participated...your support is cherished. A big shout out to Miss Kelli Marsh who joined me in my photographic quest and emerged with some killer images. Keep it up Kel...you're so money baby.
So here they are...Team Flint. left to right...Ali of Eleven Eleven Designs, Ali - my sister (yes, i have two amazing Ali's in my life), Lindsay, Kelli, Lynn, Anita (...and i have an amazing Lindsay, Kelli, Lynn and Anita too!) and chillin up front is the doctor himself...Mister Michael Marsh. Jason was not available for the photo and no one knows quite why. hmmm. Thank you guys again...you all rock really hard.
...good times. great memories. Happy Mother's Day to all who apply. Many more.
After the walk it was off to Mother's Day brunch at Jack Lavier's. I decided to take my flash and gels along with me.
...stay tuned to see how that turned out...
much love,
